I gotta say.......it's kind of amazing. Berglund has been out for almost 7 months and his game hasn't missed a beat.

He is the anchor that will slow this fast moving ship down... You never want to wish and injury on anyone but maybe a trade? A call to the religious life? Something, anything...
Perhaps it wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't have to listen to otherwise, seemingly intelligent hockey announcers, media, etc. praise him like we can't trust our own eyes and need them to tell us how good he really is. I get the Coach doing it. He and his staff sort of have to. But why, pray tell, do guys like Pang and Kelly and even Chase heap so much praise on this slug? I can read box scores and stat sheets. I can watch games and see how he doesn't go into the dirty areas as much as others and when he does, he isn't nearly as strong on the puck as guys with much less size. He's 6'-4" 225 for pete's sake!!! He should own the boards, the corners and the front of the net. He's a puss that give 100% about half the time he's on the ice.
Now watch, he'll have a good game or two mixed in with the 6 or 8 bad ones. Last night was an embarrassment and all we got was excuses about him getting his legs and timing back. How about doing that in the forking AHL or in the Brentwood rec league. Not at the NHL level where it can cost games, like it did last night. No, that loss was not 100% on him but he sure gets to claim a large part of it...
Berglund rant over... for now...

2 penalties on him and two goals scored on us with that amazing performance.
Apparently, if a team is pissed off enough, they can come into the game and win it rather handily from the more and more often unprepared Blues.
I get we're not gonna win every game but man do we lose ugly. Getting to be a pattern.
This team needs a top 6 guy who can threaten to score and get Sobi where he belongs, on the third line. When that happens with the right guy the team will be set and the rest is up to them.

I'm not going to beat you up with re-hashing my problems with this team's heart and why I don't think they're going anywhere, regular season record be damned.
If you look at the 4 home games they have lost, for certain 3 of them were against teams that they should easily have gotten 2 points against. But the lesser teams come into the Blues building, coming off of embarrassing defeats, lookiung to make a statement against "the best team in the league" (record wise), and push the Blouse around. That's a persistent problem for this team and it speaks to the heart of the team. This problem will look bigger when the playoffs roll around if they don't get it fixed.
As for #21......I agree with Andy. What in the hell does he have on the announcers and even some teammates that makes them sing his praise. He's a joke out there.

Yeo is trying everything to make it work - to the detriment of the team. If my eyes didn't deceive me, at one point I saw "The Swedish Slug" out there with Tarasenko and Schwartz. WTF would you do that and mess with that line?

#21 had just gotten out of the penalty box, and the play went into the offensive zone so he went with it. He got off when the puck went the other way.
Thank God.

Beat me up? bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
They have, TO DATE, showed plenty of heart this year. You're as stubborn as they come.
Yes, AS I POINTED OUT, they have fallen off their game completely in 3 games of the 8 they have lost. That's 3 of the 25 they have played. Context, please. Name any other team TO DATE that has done better, in that regard. And they have done all this TO DATE without a decent PP, PK or goalie. It's not magic, it's a top scoring line and then a team with a lot of heart.
Your not a fan, I am, I get that. TO DATE this team has proven you dead wrong and plain surprised the heck out of me.
As for the rest of the season, sure, it could turn and then you can say samo samo. I say they need a top six guy and some improvement on ST's and better tending, and this team can roll well past what I originally thought.
We'll see soon enough.
I am anxious to see how Yeo handles this team and its roster and its ups and downs going forward. he needs to make some decisions that are best for the team and he better do it if he wants to truly chase this thing down.

Yes, show me dude.
In the meantime I'll show you 2 others who do.
Average of record:
1) Best team in the NHL Tampa Bay/opposing team record 12.8 W 8.7 loss 2.2 Loss in OT
2) Your own fav, the bandwagon team with the ugly jerseys: Nashville/opposing team record 12.3 W 8.7 loss 2.7 Lost in OT
3) STL BLUES/opp team record 12.8 W 7.5 loss 2.4 loss in OT
If your having trouble I'll help you out. Blues lost to stronger teams, teams with better records, than the best team in the nhl and the team that is the darling of the league and the worlds bestest hockey club.
I know Blues winning it's been a tough start for you 'n all and you're anxious for the big swoon so we can all hear about how right you are a few hundred more times but you need to settle down and cool your jets for now.....timing is everything.

Yeah, it finally occurred to me that over the last decade or so, when I should have finally known better, that I WAS stupid for supporting that team. I'm still a fan, I just won't support them.
Now, I just enjoy watching you be stupid.

Don't look now!!!
The Blouse is 5-5 in it's last 10......the worst record of any of the top 17 teams in the NHL.
Or, for you big fans.....only 7 teams in the NHL have less points to show for their last 10.
There is no joy in Blueville.....their heart is 2 sizes too small.

See, that's what I'm talking about....I'm a fan bro!
Hey, did you happen to see if they won tonight? You know, a lot of times a team with some heart will come back from a home loss, come into your building the next night, and take one from you, like has happened to the Blouse 3 times already.
Wait.....never mind.

LS - did you notice that #21 was the leading goal scorer for the Blouse the last 2 games? It looks like the line changes Yeo made may be paying off.

I watched them get run over last night.
You may want to re-think your return if you go see them.

Stick with the band wagon city and the ugly uniforms. At least until Rhinne goes down.
